    Your work is always so beautiful. At first glance I went with the orange. It goes nicely with the orange in the flowers. Then I looked again & again and think a softer color would make your beautiful baskets stand out more. I'm looking forward to hearing what you decide on.

    I vote orange also - and the print sashing really makes the baskets pop!

    I think a softer tone would look better, and not shout so much, but you still need contrast against the baskets. I like the flowery border. Try laying some strips of green over the orange, or a marbled, paler orange which would lighten the effect.

    The orange is pretty, and it does draw the eye, because it is so much bolder than the baskets. It's really up to you as to what effect you want to achieve. The baskets are really pretty, I love those soft colors.

    Don't get scared. The dark orange gives depth and life to the baskets. Maybe you aren't used to quilting with such lively colors. I think you will be extremely pleased when you are finished. :thumbup:
